DECLARATION  OF  PRINCIPLES 

or  THB 

REFORMED  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH. 
Adopted  Heoemher  »dt  1873, 


I. 

The  Reformed  Epi^qopal  Church,  holding  "the  faith 
once  delivered  unto  the  saints,"  declares  its  belief  in  the 
Holy  Scriptures  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  as  the 
Word  of  God,  and  the  sole  Rule  of  Faith  and  Practice; 
in  the  Creed  "commonly  called  the  Apo^ ties*  Creed ;" 
in  the  Divine  institution  of  the  Sacraments  of  Baptism 
and  the  Lord's  Supper ;  and  in  the  doctrines  of  grace 
substantially  as  they  are  set  forth  in  the  Thirty-nine 
Articles  of  Keligion. 

II. 

This  Church  recognizes  and  adheres  to  Episcopacy, 
not  as  of  divine  right,  but  as  a  very  ancient  and  desirable 
form  of  church  polity. 

III. 

This  Church,  retaining  a  Liturgy  which  shall  not  be 
imperative  or  repressive  of  freedom  in  prayer,  accepts 
the  Book  of  Common  Prayer,  as  it  was  revised,  proposed, 
and  recommended  for  use  by  the  General  Convention  of 
the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  A.  D.  1785,  reserving 
full  liberty  to  alter,  abridge,  enlarge,  and  amend  the 
same,  as  mav  seem  most  conducive  to  the  edification  of 
the  people,  "provided  that  the  substance  of  the  faith  be 
kept  entire." 

IV. 

This  Church  condemns  and  rejects  the  following  erro- 
neous and  sf range  doctrines  as  contrary  to  God's  Word; 

First,  Th  it  the  Church  of  Christ  exists  unly  in  one 
order  or  form  of  ecclesiastical  polity: 

Second,  Tha'  Christian  ministers  are  "priests"  in 
another  sense  iiian  that  in  which  all  believers  are  "a 
royal  priesthood :" 

Third,  That  the  Lord's  Table  is  an  altar  on  which  the 
oblation  of  the  Body  and  Blood  of  Christ  is  offered  anew 
to  the  Father  i 

Fourth,  That  the  Presence  of  Christ  in  the  Lord's  Sup- 
per is  a  presence  in  the  elements  of  Bread  and  Wine : 

Fifths  That  Regeneration  is  inseparably  connected 
with  Baptism. 


THE   ORDER  FOR 


one 


in 

m  "a. 


MORNING  PRAYER 


T[  The  Minister  shall  begin  the  Morning  Prayer 
by  reading  one  or  mure  of  the  following  Sen- 
tences. 

THE  Lord  is  in  his  holy  temple ;  let  all 
the  earth   keep   silence  before  him. 
ira6.  ii,  20. 

From  the  rising  of  the  sun  even  unto 
the  going  down  of  the  same,  my  i^ame 
shall  be  great  among  the  Gentiles;  and 
in  every  place  incense  shall  be  offered 
unto  my  ^ame,  and  a  pure  offering :  for  my 
Name  shall  be  great  among  the  heathen, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.     MaL  i,  11. 

God  is  a  Spirit:  and  they  that  worship 
him  must  worship  him  in  spirit  and  in 
truth.     St  John  iv,  24. 

Let  the  words  of  my  mouth,  and  the 
meditation  of  my  heart,  be  acceptable  in 
thy  sight,  O  Lord,  my  strength  and  my 
Redeemer.     Psalm  xix,  14. 

When  'the  wicked  man  turneth  away 
from  his  wickedness  that  he  hath  com- 
mitted, and  doeth  that  which  is  lawful 
and  right,  he  shall  save  his  soul  alive. 
Uzek,  xviii,  27. 

I  acknowledge  my  transgressions ;  and 
my  sin  is  ever  before  me.     Psalm  li,  3. 

1  1 


MORNING    PRAYER. 


Hide  thy  face  from  my  sins;  and  blot 
out  all  my  iniquities.     Psalm  li,  9. 

The  sacrifices  of  God  are  a  broken 
spirit:  a  broken  and  a  contrite  heart,  O 
God,  thou  wilt  not  despise.     Psalm  li,  17. 

Rend  your  heart,  and  not  your  gar- 
ments, and  turn  unto  the  Lord  your  God; 
for  he  is  gracious  and  merciful,  slow  to 
anger,  and  of  great  kindness,  and  repent- 
eth  him  of  the  evil.     Joel  ii,  13. 

To  the  Lord  our  God  belong  mercies 
and  forgivenesses,  though  we  have  rebelled 
against  him ;  neither  have  we  obeyed  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  our  God,  to  walk  in  his 
laws  which  he  set  before  us.  Dan.  ix,  9, 10. 

0  Lord,  correct  me,  but  with  judg- 
ment; not  in  thine  anger,  lest  thou  bring 
me  to  nothing.     Jer,  x,  24;  Psalm  vi,  1. 

Repent  ye ;  for  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
J...  at  hand.     St  Matt  iii,  2. 

1  will  arise,  and  go  to  my  father,  and 
will  say  unto  him.  Father,  I  have  sinned 
against  heaven,  and  before  thee,  and  am 
no  more  worthy  to  be  called  thy  son. 
St  Luke  XV,  18,  19. 

Enter  not  into  judgment  with  thy  ser- 
vant; for  in  thy  sight  shall  no  man  living 
be  justified.    Psalm  cxliii,  2. 

If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin,  we 
deceive  ourselves,  and  the  truth  is  not  in 
us;  but  if  we  confess  our  sins,  God  is 

2 


MORNING   PRAYER.  , 

faithful  and  just  to  forgive  us  our  sins^ 
and  to  cleanse  us  from  all  unrighteous- 
ness.    1  John  i,  8,  9. 

FOR    ADVENT. 

Behold  he  cometh  with  clouds;  and 
every  eve  shall  see  him,  and  they  also 
which  pierced  him ;  and  all  kindreds  of  the 
earth  shall  wail  because  of  him.    Rev.  i,  7. 

He  which  testifieth  these  things  saith, 
Surely  I  come  quickly.  Amen.  Even  so, 
come,  Lord  Jesus.     Jtev.  xxii,  20. 

Repent  ye :  for  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  at  hand.     St,  Matt  iii,  2. 

FOR   CHRISTMAS. 

"When  the  fulness  of  time  was  come, 
God  sent  forth  his  son,  made  of  a  woman, 
made  under  the  law,  to  redeem  them 
that  were  under  the  law,  that  we  might 
receive  the  adoption  of  sons.  Galatians 
iv,  4.  5. 

FOR   EPIPHANY. 

The  Word  was  made  flesh,  and  dwelt 
among  us,  (and  we  beheld  his  glory,  the 
glory  as  of  the  only  begotten  of  the  Father,) 
full  of  grace  and  truth.     John  i,  14. 

FOR   GOOD   FRIDAY. 

All  we  like  sheep  have  gone  astray;  we 

8 


MORNING    PRAYER. 


have  turned  every  man  to  his  own  way; 
and  the  Lord  hath  laid  on  him  the 
iniquity  of  us  all.     Isaiah  liii,  6. 

Who  his  own  self  bare  our  sins  in  his 
own  body  on  the  tree.     1  Peter  ii,  24. 

FOR   EASTER. 

T  am  the  resurrection  and  the  life,  saith 
the  Lord:  he  that  believeth  in  me,  though 
he  were  dead, yet  shall  he  live.  Johnxi,  25. 

FOR    ASCENSION    DAY. 

Thou  hast  ascended  on  high,  thou  hast 
led  captivity  captive ;  thou  hast  received 
gifts  for  men;  yea,  for  the  rebellious  also, 
that  the  Lord  God  might  dwell  among 
them.     Psalm  Ixviii,  18. 

FOR   WHITSUNDAY. 

"When  the  Comforter  is  come,  whom  I 
will  send  unto  you  from  the  Father:  even 
the  Spirit  of  truth  which  proceedeth  from 
the  Father,  he  shall  testify  of  me.  John 
XV,  26. 

FOR    TRINITY    SUNDAY. 

Through  him  we  have  access  by  one 
Spirit  unto  the  Father.     Ephesians  ii,  18. 

1[  Then  the  Minister  shall  say, 

DEARLY  beloved  brethren,  the  Scrip- 
ture moveth  us,  in  sundry  places,  to 
acknowledge  and  confess  our  manifold 


MORNING   PH^YER. 

Bins  and  wickedness,  and  that  we  should 
not  disbemble  nor  cloak  them  before  the 
face  of  Almighty  God,  our  heavenly 
Father,  but  confess  them  with  an  humble, 
low^ly,  penitent,  and  obedient  heart;  to 
the  end  that  we  may  obtain  forgiveness  of 
the  same,  by  his  infinite  goodness  and 
mercy.  And  although  we  ought,  at  all 
times,  humbly  to  acknowledge  our  sins 
before  God ;  yet  ought  we  chiefly  so  to  do, 
when  we  assemble  and  meet  together,  to 
render  thanks  for  the  great  benefits  that 
we  have  received  at  his  hand"^,  to  set  forth 
his  most  worthy  praise,  to  heai  his  most 
holy  word,  and  to  ask  those  things  which 
are  requisite  and  necessary,  as  well  for  the 
body  as  the  soul.  Wherefore,  I  pray  and 
beseech  you,  as  many  as  are  here  present, 
to  accompany  me,  with  a  pure  heart  and 
humble  voice,  unto  the  throne  of  the 
heavenly  grace,  saying; — 

IT  A  General  Confession,  to  be  said  by  the  whole 
Congregation,  with  the  Minister,  all  kneeling. 

ALMIGHTY  and  most  merciful  Father; 
We  have  erred  and  strayed  from  thy 
ways,  like  lost  sheep.  We  have  followed 
too  much  the  devices  and  desires  of  our 
own  hearts.  We  have  offended  against  thy 
holy  laws.  We  have  left  undone  those 
things  which  we  ought  to  have  done;  And

we  have  done  those  things  which  we  ought 
not  to  have  done :  And  there  is  no  health 
in  UB  But  thou,  0  Lord,  have  mercy 
upon  us,  miserable  offenders.  Spare  thou 
those,  O  God,  who  confess  their  faults, 
liestore  thou  those  who  are  penitent;  Ac- 
cording to  thy  promises  declared  unto 
mankind,  in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord.  And 
grant,  O  most  merciful  Father,  for  his 
sake ;  That  we  may  hereafter  live  a  godly, 
righteous,  and  sober  life ;  To  the  glory  of 
thy  holy  Name.    Amen. 

Tf  The  Minister,  still  kneeling,  shall  say  the  follow- 
ing Prayer. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  our  heavenly  Father; 
who,  of  thy  great  mercy,  hast  pro- 
mised forgiveness  of  sins  to  all  those  who, 
with  hearty  repentance  and  true  faith, 
turn  unto  thee;  have  mercy  upon  us; 
pardon  and  deliver  us  from  all  our  sins; 
confirm  and  strengthen  us  in  all  goodness ; 
and  bring  us  to  everlasting  life;  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

T[  The  people  shall  answer  here,  and  at  the  end  of 
every  prayer,  Amen. 

If  Then  the  Minister  shall  say  the  Lord's  Prayer ; 
the  people  repeating  it  with  him,  both  here  and 
wheresoever  else  it  is  used  in  Divine  Service.

MOANING    PRAYER, 

Lord;  Who  was  conceived  by  the  Holy 
Ghost,  Born  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  Suffered 
under  Pontius  Pilate,  Was  crucified,  dead, 
and  buried;  The  third  day  he  rose  from 
the  dead;  He  ascended  into  Heaven;  And 
sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the 
Father  Almighty;  From  thence  he  shall 
come  to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost;  The  Holy 
Catholic  Church — the  Communion  of 
Saints;  The  forgiveness  of  sins;  The 
resurrection  of  the  body;  And  the  life 
everlasting.     Amen. 

IF  Or  this. 

I  BELIEVE  in   one   God,    he  Father 
Almighty,  Maker  of  Heaven  and  Earth, 
and  of  all  things  visible  and  invisible : 

And  in  one  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  only 
begotten  Son  of  God,  begotten  of  his 
Father  before  all  worlds;  God  of  God, 
Li^ht  of  Light,  very  God  of  very  God, 
begotten,  not  made, being  of  one  substance 
with  the  Father;  by  whom  all  things  were 
made;  who  for  us  men,  and  for  our  salva- 
tion, came  down  from  Heaven,  and  was 
incarnate  by  the  Holy  Ghost  of  the  Virgin 
Mary,  and  was  made  man,  and  was  cruci- 
fied also  for  us  under  Pontius  Pilate.  He 
suffered  and  was  buried,  and  the  third  day 
he  rose  again,  according  to  the  Scriptures,

and  ascended  into  Heaven,  And  sitteth  on 
the  right  hand  of  the  Father.  And  he 
shall  come  again  with  glory  to  judge  both 
the  quick  and  the  dead;  Whose  kingdom 
shall  have  no  end. 

And  I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost,  the 
Lord  and  Giver  of  Life,  Who  proceedeth 
from  the  Father  and  the  Son,  Who  with 
the  Father  and  the  Son  together  is  wor- 
shiped and  glorified.  Who  spake  by  the 
Prophets.  And  I  believe  one  Catholic 
and  Apostolic  Church';  I  acknowledge 
one  Baptism  for  the  remission  of  sins; 
And  I  look  for  the  Resurrection  of  the 
dead,  And  the  Life  of  the  w^orld  to  come.

OUR  Father,  who  art  in  Heaven,  HaU 
lowed  be  thy  Name;  Thy  kingdom 
come;  Thy  will  be  done  on  earth,  as  it 
is  in  heaven ;  Give  us  this  day  our  daily 
bread;  And  forgive  us  our  trespasses,  aa 
we  forgive  those  who  trespass  against  us; 
And  lead  us  not  into  temptation ;  but  de- 
liver us  from  evil.  Amen. 
^  Minister.  0  Lord,  deal  not  with  us  ac- 
cording to  our  sins. 

Answer.    Neither  reward  us  according 
to  our  iniquities. 

OGOD,  merciful  Father,  who  despisest 
not  the  sighing  of  a  contrite  heart, 
nor  the  desire  of  such  as  are  sorrowful; 
mercifully  assist  our  prayers  which  we 
make  before  thee  in  all  our  troubles  and 
adversities,  whensoever  they  oppress  us; 
and  graciously  hear  us,  that  those  evils 
which  the  craft  and  subtilty  of  the  devil 
or  man  worketh  against  us  may,  by  thy 
good  providence,  be  brought  to  nought ; 
that  we,  thy  servants,  being  hurt  by  no 
persecutions,  may  evermore  give  thanks 
unto  thee  in  thy  holy  Church,  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

0  Lord,  arise,  help  us,  and  deliver  us,  for 
thy  name^s  sake.

THE  Lord  is  in  his  holy  temple ;  let  all 
the  earth   keep   silence  before  him. 
Hah,  ii,  20. 

From  the  rising  of  the  sun  even  unto 
the  going  down  of  the  same,  my  Name 
shall  be  great  among  the  Gentiles;  and 
in  every  place  incense  shall  be  offered

I  acknowledge  my  transgressions;  and 
xny  sin  is  ever  before  me.     Psalm,  li,  3. 

Hide  thy  face  from  my  sins;  and  blot 
out  all  my  iniquities.     Psalm  li,  9. 

The  sacrifices  of  God  are  a  broken 
spirit:  a  broken  and  a  contrite  heart,  0 
God,  thou  wilt  not  despise.     Psalm  li,  17. 

Rend  your  heart,  and  not  your  gar- 
ments, and  turn  unto  the  Lord  your  God; 
for  he  is  gracious  and  merciful,  slow  to 
anger,  and  of  great  kindness,  and  repent- 
eth  him  of  the  evil.     Joel  ii,  13. 

To  the  Lord  our  God  belong  mercies 
and  forgivenesses,  though  we  have 
rebelled  against  him;  neither  have  we 
obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord  our  God, 
to  walk  in  his  laws  which  he  s  ^t  before 
us.     Dan,  ix,  9, 10. 

0  Lord,  correct  me,  but  with  judg-

St.  Luke  XV,  18,  19.

EVENING    PRAYER. 

If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin,  we 
deceive  ourselves,  and  the  truth  is  not  in 
us;  hut  if  we  confess  our  sins,  God  is 
fiiithful  and  just  to  forgive  us  our  sins, 
and  to  cleanse  us  from  all  unrighteous- 
ness.   1  John  i,  8,  9. 

f  Then  the  Minister  shall  say, 

DEARLY  beloved  brethren,  the  8cri}> 
ture  raoveth  us  in  sundry  places,  to 
acknowledge  and  confess  our  manifold 
sins  and  wickedness,  and  that  we  should 
not  dissemble  nor  cloak  them  befoi'e  the 
face  of  Almighty  God,  our  heavenly 
Father,  but  confess  them  with  an  humble, 
lowly,  penitent,  and  obedient  heart;  to 
the  end  that  we  may  obtain  foirgivenesa 
of  the  same,  by  his  infinite  goodness  and 
mercy.  And  although  we  ought,  at  all 
times,  humbly  to  acknowledge  our  sina 
before  God;  yet  ought  we  chiefly  so  to 
do,  when  we  assemble  and  meet  together, 
to  render  thanks  for  the  great  benefits 
that  we  have  received  at  his  hands,  to  set 
forth  his  most  worthy  praise,  to  hear  his 
most  holy  word,  and  to  ask  those  things 
which  are  requisite  a^  J  necessary,  as  well 
for  the  body  as  the  soul.  Wherefore,  I

^  A  General  Confession,  to  be  said  by  the  whole 
Congregation,  with  the  Minister,  all  kneeling. 

ALMIGHTY  and  most  merciful  Father; 
We  have  erred  and  strayed  from  thy 
ways,  like  lost  sheep.  We  have  followed 
too  much  the  devices  and  desires  of  our 
own  hearts.  We  have  offended  against 
thy  holy  laws.  We  have  left  undone 
those  things  which  we  ought  to  have 
done;  And  we  have  done  those  things 
which  we  ought  not  to  have  done :  And 
there  is  no  health  in  us.  But  thou,  O 
Lord,  have  mercy  upon  us,  miserable 
offenders.  Spare  thou  those,  O  God,  who 
confess  their  faults.  Restore  thou  those 
who  are  penitent:  According  to  thy  pro- 
mises declared  unto  mankind,  in  Christ 
Jesus  our  Lord.  And  grant,  O  most 
merciM  Father,  for  his  sake;  That  we 
may  hereafter  live  a  godly,  righteous,  and 
sober  life;  To  the  glory  of  thy  holy  !N^ame. 
Amen. 

^  The  Minister,  still  kneeling,  shall  say  the  follow- 
ing prayer  for  forgiyeness. 

0  ALMIGHTY  G<>d,  the  Father  of  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ,  who  desireth  not

believe  thy  holy  Gospel.  Grant  us.  true 
repentance  and  thy  Holy  Spirit,  that  those 
things  may  please  thee  which  we  do  at 
this  present ;  and  that  the  rest  of  our  life 
hereafter  may  be  pure  and  holy ;  so  that 
at  the  last  we  may  come  to  thy  eternal 
joy;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

^  The  people  shall  answer  here,  and  at  the  end  of 
every  Prayer,  Amen,

the  People  repeating  it  with  iiim,  both  here,  and 
wheresoever  else  it  is  used  in  Divine  Service. 

OUR  Father,  who  art  in  Heaven,  Hal-

come;  Thy  will  be  done  on  earth,  as  it 
is  in  heaven ;  Give  us  this  day  our  daily

And  lead  ns  snot  into  temptation;  But

A  Prayer  for  Christian  Faith, 

ALMIGHTY  God  and  heavenly  Father, 
Open  thou  our  eyes  that  we  may  see 
ourselves  to  he  sinners  in  thy  sight,  par- 
takers of  a  fallen  nature,  and  actual 
transgressors  against  thee.  Enable  us  to 
realize  our  continual  need,  both  of  thy  par- 
doning mercy  and  of  thy  quickening 
grace,  and  to  receive  Jesus  Christ  as 
the  only  Saviour  of  our  souls.  May  we 
trust  in  his  atonement,  and  rely  on  his 
intercession,  as  our  only  hope.  Rejoicing 
in  thy  free  salvation,  and  nouncing  our 
o¥^n  righteousness,  may  we  walk  in  the 
way  of  thy  commandments,  serving  thee 
faithfully,  and  striving  against  every  sin ;

our  Lord.     Amen,

the  pollutions  of  error  and  sin,  and  be-

incline  our  hearts  to  keep  this  law. 

Minister.  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto 
thee  any  graven  image,  or  any  likeness  of 
any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that 
is  in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the 
water  under  the  earth.  Thou  shalt  not 
bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve 
them :  for  I,  the  Lord  thy  God,  am  a 
jealous  God,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the 
fathers  upon  the  children,  unto  the  third 
and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate 
me ;  and  showing  mercy  unto  thousands

Minister,  Remember  the  Sabbath-day 
to  keep  it  holy.  Six  days  shalt  thou  labor, 
and  do  all  thy  work ;  but  the  seventh  day 
is  the  Sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God.  In 
it  thou  shalt  not  do  any  work ;  thou,  nor 
thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter,  nor  thy  man- 
servant, nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thy 
cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy 
gates.  For  in  six  days  the  Lord  made 
heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that  in 
them  is,  and  rested  the  seventh  day; 
wherefore  the  Lord  blessed  the  Sabbath- 
day,  and  hallowed  it.

commandments  hang  all  the  law  and  the 
prophets.

same  measure  that  ye  mete  withal  it  shall 
be  measured  to  you  again.  St  Luke 
vi,  38. 

Lay  not  up  for  yourselves  treasures 
upon  earth,  where  moth  and  rust  doth 
corrupt,  and  where  thieves  break  through 
and  steal:  But  lay  up  for  yourselves 
treasures  in  heaven,  where  neither  moth 
nor  rust  doth  corrupt,  and  where  thieves 
do  not  break  through  nor  steal.  St  Matt 
vi,  19,  20. 

Not  every  one  that  saith  unto  me, 
Lord.  Lord,  shall  enter  into  the  kingdom 
of  Heaven ;  but  he  that  doeth  the  will  of 
my  Fathei  which  is  in  Heaven.  St,  Matt 
vii,  21. 

Zacchseus  stood,  and  said  unto  the 
Lord;  Behold,  Lord,  the  half  of  my 
goods  I  give  to  the  poor;  and  if  I  have 
taken  anything  from  any  man,  by  falsa

Luke  xix,  8. 

Who  goeth  a  warfare  any  time  at  his 
own  charges?  Who  planteth  a  vineyard, 
and  eateth  not  of  the  fruit  thereof?  Or 
who  feedeth  a  flock,  and  eateth  not  of  the 
milk  of  the  flock?     1  Cor,  ix,  7. 

If  we  have  sown  unto  you  spiritual 
things,  is  it  a  great  thing  if  we  shall  reap 
your  carnal  things?    1  Cor,  ix,  11. 

Do  ye  not  know  that  they  which  minis- 
ter about  holy  things  live  of  the  things 
of  the  temple  ?  and  they  which  wait  at  the 
altar  are  partakers  with  the  altar?  Even 
so  hath  the  Lord  ordained  that  they  which 
preach  the  Gospel  shall  live  of  the  Gospel. 
1  Cor,  ix,  13,  14. 

He  which  soweth  sparingly  shall  reap 
also  sparingly;  and  he  which  soweth 
bountifully  shall  reap  also  bountifully. 
Every  man  according  as  he  purposeth  in 
his  heart,  so  let  him  give ;  not  grudgingly, 
or  of  necessity;  for  God  loveth  a  cheerful 
giver.     2  Cor,  ix,  6,  7. 

Let  him  that  is  taught  in  the  Word 
communicate  unto  him  that  teacheth  in 
all  good  things.  Be  not  deceived;  God 
in  not  mocked:  for  whatsoever  a  man 
Boweth,  that  shall  he  also  reap.  Gal,  vi,

them  who  are  of  the  household  of  faith. 
Gal,  vi,  10. 

Godliness  with  contentment  is  great 
gain.  For  we  brought  nothing  into  this 
world,  and  it  is  certain  we  can  carry 
nothing  out.     1  Tim,  vi,  6,  7. 

Charge  them  that  are  rich  in  this  world, 
that  they  do  good,  that  they  be  rich  in 
good  works,  ready  to  distribute,  willing 
to  communicate ;  laying  up  in  store  for 
themselves  a  good  foundation  against  the 
time  to  come,  that  they  may  lay  hold  on 
eternal  life.     1  Tim,  vi,  17,  18, 19. 

To  do  good,  and  to  communicate,  for- 
get not:  for  with  such  sac.ifices  God  is 
well  pleased.     Heh,  xiii,  16. 

Whoso  hath  this  world's  good,  and 
eeeth  his  brother  have  need,  and  shutteth 
up  his  bowels  of  compassion  from  him, 
how  dwelleth  the  love  of  God  in  Him  ? 
1  St.  John  iii,  17. 

He  that  hath  pity  upon  the  poor  lendeth 
unto  the  Lord  ;  and  that  which  he  hath 
given  will  he  pay  him  again.  Pi^ov,  xix,

Blessed  is  he  that  considereth  the  poor : 
the  Lord  will  deliver  him  in  time  of

ALMIGHTY  and  ever-living  God,  who

due  reverence,  they  may  hear  and  receive

^  After  this  prayer,  the  Minister  shall  say, 

DEARLY  beloved  in  the  Lord,  ye  who 
mind  to  come  to  this  holy  Table  of 
the  Lord  must  consider  how  St.  Paul  ex- 
horteth  all  persons  to  examine  them-

great,  if  with  a  true  penitent  heart  and

lively  faith  we  receive  this  Holy  Supper. 
Judge,  therefore,  yourselves,  brethren, 
that  ye  be  not  judged  of  the  Lord;  repent 
ye  truly  for  your  sins  past;  have  a  lively 
and  steadfast  faith  in  Christ  our  Saviour ; 
amend  your  lives,  and  be  in  perfect  char- 
ity with  all  men ;  and  so  shall  ye  be  meet 
partakers  of  this  Holy  Feast.  And  above 
all  things,  ye  must  give  most  humble  and 
hearty  thanks  to  God,  the  Father,  the 
Son,  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  for  the  redemp- 
tion of  the  world  by  the  death  and  passion 
of  our  Saviour  Christ,  both  God  and  man; 
who  did  humble  himself,  even  to  the 
death  upon  the  Cross,  for  us,  miserable 
sinners,  who  lay  in  darkness  and  the 
shadow  of  death ;  that  he  might  make  us 
the  children  of  God,  and  exalt  us  to  ever- 
lasting life.  And  to  the  end  that  we 
should  always  remember  the   exceeding

innumerable  benefits  which  by  his  pre-

bewail  our  manifold  sins  and  wickedness. 
Which  we,  from  time  to  time,  most  griev-

Provoking  most  justly  thy  wrath  and  in- 
dignation against  us.  We  do  earnestly 
repent,  And  are  heartily  sorry  for  these 
our  misdoings.  The  remembrance  of 
them  is  grievous  unto  us.  Have  mercy

PROPER  PREFACES. 

Upon  Christmas  Day. 

BECAUSE  thou  didst  give  Jesus  Christ, 
thine  only  Son,  to  be  born  as  at  this 
time  for  us ;  who,  by  the  operation  of  the 
Holy  Ghost,  was  made  very  man,  being 
born  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  without  sin,  to 
make  us  clean  from  all  sin.  Therefore

BUT  chiefly  are  we  bound  to  praise  thee 
for  the  glorious  resurrection  of  thy 
Son  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord  :  For  he  is  the 
very  Paschal  Lamb,  which  was  offered  for 
us,  and  hath  taken  away  the  sin  of  the

appeared  to  all  his  Apostles,  and  in  their 
sight  ascended  up  into  heaven,  to  prepare

ing them  into  all  truth.  Therefore  with

thy  Son  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,  and 
for  the  sending  to  ue  of  the  Holy  Ghost

Table  and  say» 

WE  do  not  presume  to  come  to  this  thy 
table,  O  merciful  Lord,  trusting  in 
our  own  righteousness,  but  in  thy  mani- 
fold and  great  mercies.  We  are  not 
worthy  so  much  as  to  gather  up  the 
crumbs  under  thy  table.  But  thou  art 
the  same  Lord,  whose  property  is  always 
to  have  mercy.  Grant  us,  therefore,  gra- 
cious Lord,  so  to  commemorate  in  this 
breaking  of  bread  the  death  of  thy  deiir 
Bon  Jesus  Christ,  that  we  may  feed  on 
him  in  our  hearts  by  faith,  and  that  we 
may  evermore  dwell  in  him,  and  he  in  us.

THE   COMMUNION. 

thy  tender  mercy,  didst  give  thine  only 
Son  Jesus  Christ  to  suffer  death  upon  the 
cross  for  our  redemption ;  who  made  there 
(by  his  one  oblation  of  himself  once  of- 
fer 3d)  a  full,  perfect,  and  sufficient  sacrifice, 
oblation,  and  satisfaction,  for  the  sins  of 
the  whole  world;  and  did  institute,  and  in 
his  holy  Gospel  command  us  to  continue, 
a  perpetual  memory  of  that  his  precious 
death  and  sacrifice,  until  his  coming  again; 
for  in  the  night  in  which  he  was  betrayed 
he  took  Bread ;  and,  when  he  had  given 
thanks,  he  brake  it,  and  gave  to  his  dis- 
ciples, saying.  Take,  eat,  this  is  my  body, 
which  is  given  for  you ;  do  this  in  remem- 
brance of  me.  Likewise,*  after  supper,  he 
took  the  Cup ;  and,  when  he  had  given 
thanks,  he  gave  it  to  them,  saying,  Drink 
ye  all  of  this ;  for  this  is  my  iblood  of  the 
iTew  Testament,  which  is  shed  for  you,  and 
for  many,  for  the  remission  of  sins;  do  this, 
as  oft  as  ye  shall  drink  it,  in  remembrance 
of  me.

Note.  The  act  and  prayer  of  consecration  do 
not  change  the  nature  of  the  elements,  but 
merely  set  them  apart  for  a  holy  use :  and  the

and  the  firmament  showeth  his  handy- 
work.

There  is  no  speech  nor  language,  where 
their  voice  is  not  heard. 

Their  line  is  gone  out  through  all  the

His  going  ibrth  is  from  the  end  of  the

The  statutes  of  the  Lord  are  right,  re-

the  Lord  is  pure,  enlightening  the  eyes. 

The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  clean,  enduring 
for  ever:  the  judgments  of  the  Lord  are 
true  and  righteous  altogether. 

More  to  he  desired  are  they  than  gold, 
yea,  than  much  fine  gold:  sweeter  also 
than  honey  and  the  honeycomh. 

Moreover  hy  them  is  thy  servant 
warned:  and  in  keeping  of  them  there 
is  great  reward. 

who  can  understand  his  errors  ?  cleanse 
thou  me  from  secret  faults. 

Keep  hack  thy  servant  also  from  pre- 
sumptuous sins;  let  them  not  have  do- 
minion over  me :  then  shall  I  he  upright, 
and  I  shall  he  innocent  from  the  great 
transgression.

He  will  not  always  chide :  neitjier  will 
he  keep  his  anger  for  ever. 

He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  after  our  sins;

time:  and  in  the  days  of  fiamme  they 
shall  be  satisfied. 

But  the  wicked  shall  perish,  and  the 
enemies  of  the  Lord  shall  be  as  the  fat 
of  lambs :  they  shall  consume ;  into  smoke 
shall  they  consume  away. 

The  wicked  borroweth,  and  payeth  not 
again :  but  the  righteous  showeth  mercy, 
and  giveth. 

For  such  as  be  blessed  of  him  shall 
inherit  the  earth;  and  they  that  be  cursed 
of  him  shall  be  cut  off. 

The  steps  of  a  good  man  are  ordered 
by  the  Lord :  and  he  delighteth  in  his  way. 

Though  he  fall,  he  shall  not  be  utterly 
cast  down;  for  the  Lord  upholdeth  him 
with  his  hand. 

I  have  been  young,  and  now  am  old; 
yet  have  I  not  seen  the  righteous  forsa- 
ken, nor  his  seed  begging  bread. 

He  is  ever  merciful,  and  lendeth;  and 
his  seed  is  blessed. 

Depart  from  evil,  and  do  good;  and 
dwell  for  evermore. 

For  the  Lord  loveth  judgment,  and  for- 
saketh  not  his  saints;  they  are  preserved 
for  ever:  but  the  seed  of  the  wicked  shall 
be  cut  off. 

The  righteous  shall  inherit  the  land, 
and  dwell  therein  for  ever.

The  mouth  of  the  righteous  speaketh 
wisdom,  and  his  tongue  talketh  of  judg-

The  law  of  his  God  is  in  his  heart; 
none  of  his  steps  shall  slide. 

The  wicked  watcheth  the  righteous,  and 
eeeketh  to  slay  him. 

The  Lord  will  not  It^ave  him  in  his 
hand,  nor  condemn  him  when  he  is 
jndged. 

W  ait  on  the  Lord,  and  keep  his  way, 
and  he  shall  exalt  thee  to  inherit  the 
land :  when  the  wicked  are  cut  off,  thou 
shalt  see  it. 

I  have  seen  the  wicked  in  great  power, 
and  spreading  himself  like  a  green  bay  tree. 

Yet  he  passed  away,  and,  lo,  he  was 
not:  yea,  I  sought  him,  but  he  could  not 
be  found. 

Mark  the  peofect  man,  and  behold  the 
upright:  for  the  end  of  that  man  is  peace. 

But  the  transgressors  shall  be  destroyed 
together:  the  end  of  the  wicked  shall  be 
cut  off. 

But  the  salvation  of  the  righteous  is  of 
the  Lord :  he  is  their  strength  in  the  time 
of  trouble* 

And  the  Lord  shall  help  them,  and  de- 
liver them:  he  shall  deliver  them  from 
the  wicked,  and  save  them,  because  they 
trust  in  him.

Psalm  1.      ,    .    1,        n 

BLESSED  is  the  man  that  walketh  not 
in  the  counsel  of  the  ungodly,  nor 
standeth  in  the  way  of  sinners,  nor  sitteth 
in  the  seat  of  the  scornful. 

But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  the 
Lord;  and  in  his  law  doth  he  meditate 
day  and  night. 

And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  planted  by 
the  rivers  of  water,  that  bringeth  forth 
his  fruit  in  his  season ; 

His  leaf  also  shall  not  wither;  and 
whatsoever  he  doeth  shall  prosper. 

The  ungodly  are  not  so :  but  are  like 
the  chaff  which  the  wind  driveth  away. 

Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not  stand 
in  the  judgment,  nor  sinners  in  the  con- 
gregation of  the  righteous. 

For  the  Lord  knoweth  the  way  of  the 
righteous:  but  the  way  of  the  ungodly 
shall  perish.

BLESSED  is  he  whose  transgression  is 
forgiven,  whose  sin  is  covered. 

Blessed  is  the  man  unto  whom  the  Lord 
imputeth  not  iniquity,  and  in  whose  spirit 
there  is  no  guile. 

I  acknowledged  my  sin  unto  thee,  and 
mine  iniquity  have  I  not  hid. 

I  said,  I  will  confess  my  transgressions 
unto  the  Lord;  and  thou  forgavest  the 
iniquity  of  my  sin. 

For  this  shall  every  one  that  is  godly 
pray  unto  thee  in  a  time  when  thou  may- 
est  be  found :  surely  in  the  floods  of  great 
waters  they  shall  not  come  nigh  unto 
him. 

Thou  art  my  hiding  place ;  thou  shalt 
preserve  me  from  trouble;  thou  shalt 
compass  me  about  with  songs  of  deliver- 
ance. 

I  will  instruct  thee  and  teach  thee  in 
the  way  which  thou  shalt  go:  I  will 
guide  thee  with  mine  eye. 

Many  sorrows  shall  be  to  the  wicked : 
but  he  that  trusteth  in  the  Lord,  mercy 
shall  compass  him  about.

For  thou  hast  made  him  a  little  lower 
than  the  angels,  and  hast  crowned  him 
with  glory  and  honor. 

Thou  madest  him  to  have  dominion 
over  the  works  of  thy  hands ;  thou  hast 
put  all  things  under  his  feet  : 

All  sheep  and  oxen,  yea,  and  the  beasts 
of  the  field ;  the  fowl  of  the  air,  and  the 
fish  of  the  sea,  and  whatsoever  passeth 
through  the  paths  of  the  seas. 

O  Lord  our  Lord,  how  excellent  is  thy 
Name  in  all  the  earth ! 

From  Psalm  33.

fully with  a  loud  noise. 

For  the  word  of  the  Lord  is  right;  and 
all  his  works  are  done  in  truth. 

He  loveth  righteousness  and  judgment : 
the  earth  is  full  of  the  goodness  of  the

By  the  word  of  the  Lord  were  the  hea-

Let  all  the  earth  fear  the  Lord :  let  all

riiiTts  power,  wisdom  and  goodness;  the 
•maker  and  preserver  of  all  thinjsfs,  both 
visible  and  invisible.  And  in  u  i  ty  of 
this  Godhead,  there  be  three  persons,  of 
one  substance,  power  and  eternity;  the 
Father,  the  Son  and  the  Holy  Ghost. 

Art.  n.      Of  the  Word,  or  Son  of  God, 
which  was  made  very  man, 

THE  Son,  who  is  the  Word  of  the 
Father,  begotten  from  everlasting  of 
the  Father,  the  very  and  eternal  God,  of 
one  substance  with  the  Father,  took  man's 
nature  in  the  womb  of  the  blessed  vir- 
gin, of  her  substance :  so  that  two  whole 
and  perfect  natures,  that  is  to  say,  the 
Godhead  and  manhood,  were  joined  to- 
gether in  one  person,  never  to  be  divided, 
whereof  is  one  Christ,  very  God  and  very 
man;  who  truly  suffered,  was  crucified, 
dead  and  buried,  to  satisfy  Divine  justice, 
and  to  reconcile  us  to  his  Father,  and  to 
be  a  sacrifice,  not  only  for  original  sin, 
but  also  for  actual  sins  of  men.

Art.  ni.     Of  the  Besurrection  of  Christ,

and  all  thmgs  appertaining  to  the  perfec-

tion  of  man's  nature,  wherewith  he 
ascended  into  heaven,  and  there  sittetli, 
our  High  Priest  and  Advocate,  at  the 
right  hand  of  the  Father,  whence  he  will 
return  to  judge  the  world  in  righteous- 
ness. This  Second  Coining  is  the  blessed 
hope  of  the  Church.  The  heavens  have 
received  him,  till  the  times  of  the  restitu- 
tion of  all  things.  To  those  who  look 
for  him  he  shall  appear  a'secondtime  with- 
out sin  unto  salvation.  Then  shall  he 
change  the  body  of  our  humiliation  that 
it  may  be  fashioned  like  unto  his  glorious 
body.  He  will  take  to  himself  his  great 
power,  and  shall  reign  till  he  have  put  all 
enemies  under  his  feet. 

Art.  IV.     Of  the  Holy  Ghost 

THE  Holy  Ghost,  proceeding  from  the 
Father  and  the  Son,  is  of  one  sub- 
stance, majesty,  and  glory,  with  the 
Father  and  the  Son,  very  and  eternal  God. 
It  is  the  work  of  the  Holy  Ghost  to  re- 
prove and  convince  the  world  of  sin,  and 
of  righteousness,  and  of  judgment;  to 
take  of  the  things  of  Christ  and  show 
them  to  men;  to  regenerate — making 
men  willing,  leading  them  to  faith  in 
Christ,  and  forming  Christ  in  them  the 
hope  of  glory;  to  strengthen  them  with 

might  in  their  inner  man,  that  Christ  may

dwell  in  their  hearts  by  faith;  and  to  se- 
cure in  them  that  walking  in  the  ways  of 
God  which  is  called  the  Fruit  of  the 
Spirit.  The  true  Church  is  thus  called 
out  of  the  world,  and  is  builded  together 
for  an  habitation  of  God,  through  tn© 
Spirit. 

Art.  V.     Of  the  Sufficiency  of  the  Holy 
Scriptures  for  Salvation, 

A  LL  Scripture  is  given  by  inspiration  of 
J\.  God.  Holy  men  of  God  spake  as  they 
were  moved  by  the  Holy  Ghost:  Holy  Sc  'ip- 
ture  is  therefore  the  Word  of  God;  not 
only  does  it  contain  the  Oracles  of  God,  but 
it  is  itself  the  very  Oracles  of  God.  And 
hence  it  containeth  all  things  necessary  to 
salvation :  so  that  whatsoever  is  not  read 
therein,  nor  may  be  proved  thereby,  is 
not  to  be  required  of  any  man,  that  it 
should  be  believed  as  an  article  of  faith, 
or  be  thought  requisite  or  necessary  to 
salvation.  In  the  name  of  the  Holy  Scrip- 
ture we  do  understand  the  canonical  books

nor  to  be  used  in  establishing  any  doc- 
trine.

THE  Old  Testament  is  not  contrary  to 
the  New:   for  both  in  the  Old  and 

V 


ARTICLES   OF  RELIGION. 


S'ew  Testament  everlasting  life  is  offered 
to  Mankind  by  Christ,  who  is  the  only 
Mediator  between  God  and  Man,  being 
both  God  and  Man.  Wherefore  they  are 
not  to  be  heard,  which  feign  that  the  old 
Fathers  did  look  only  for  transitory 
promises;  and  although  the  Law  given 
from  God  by  Moses,  as  touching  Cere- 
monies and  Rites,  does  not  bind  Christian 
men,  nor  the  Civil  precepts  thereof  ought 
of  necessity  to  be  received  in  any  com- 
monwealth; yet  notwithstanding,  as  a  rule 
of  Dght  living,  no  Christian  man  whatso- 
ever is  free  from  the  obedience  of  the 
Commandments  which  are  called  Moral. 

Art.  VII.     Of  Origmal  or  Birth-sin, 

ORIGIN'AL  sin  standeth  not  in  the 
following  of  Adam,  as  the  Pelagians 
do  vainly  talk;  but  it  is  the  fault  and  cor- 
ruption of  the  nature  of  every  man,  that 
naturally  Tie  engendered  of  the  offspring 
of  Adam,  wijta?eby  man  is  wholly  gone 
from  original  Tighteousnesa,  and  iij  of  his 
own  nature  inclined  to  evil,  so  that  the 
flesh  lusteth  alvrays contrary  to  the  Spirit; 
and  therefore  in  e^j^ery  person  born  into 
this  wortd,  it  deserveth  God's  condemna- 
tion. Men  are,  as  the  Apostle  speaks, 
"by  miture  the  children  of  wrath."  And 
this  infection  of  nature  doth  remain,  yea, 

vi 


ARTICLES   OF  RELIGION, 


in  them  that  are  regenerated.  Aid  al- 
though there  is  no  condemnation  for  them 
that  are  in  Christ  Jesus,  yet  the  Apostle 
doth  confess,  that  concupiscence  or  lust 
in  such  hath  of  itself  the  nature  of  sin. 

Art.  Yiil.  Of  Man's  Condition  by  Nature, 

THE  condition  of  man  after  the  fall  of 
Adam,  is  such,  that  he  cannot  turn  and 
prepare  himself,  by  his  own  natural 
strength  and  good  works,  to  faith,  and 
calling  upon  God.  Wherefore  we  have 
no  power  to  do  good  works  pleasant  and 
acceptable  to  God,  without  the  grace 
of  God  by  Christ  first  inclining  us,  that  we 
may  have  a  good  will,  and  working  with 
us,  when  we  have  that  good  will. 

Art.  IX.     Of  Works  before  Justification. 

WORKS  commonly  called  good  before 
the  grace  of  Christ  and  the  inspira- 
tion of  his  Spirit,  have  not  the  nature  of 
obedience  to  God,  forasmuch  as  they  spring 
not  of  Faith  in  Jesus  Christ,  neither  do 
they  make  men  meet  to  deserve,  or  to  re- 
ceive grace. 

Art.  X.    Of  Regeneration^  or  the  New  lArth, 

REGENERATIOIsr  is  the  creative  act  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  whereby  he  imparts  to 
the  soul  a  new  spiritual  life.

And  whosoever  believeth  in  Christ  is 
born  again,  for,  saith  the  Scripture,  "ye 
are  all  the  children  of  God  by  faith  in 
Christ  Jesus." 


Art.  XI.     Of  Faith. 

THE  faith  which  brings  justification  is 
simply  the  reliance  or  dependence  on 
Christ  which  accepts  him  as  the  sacrifice 
for  our  sins,  and  as  our  righteousness. 

We  may  thus  rely  on  Christ,  either 
tremblingly  or  confidingly ;  but  in  either 
case  it  is  saving  faith.  If,  though  tremb- 
lingly, we  rely  on  him  in  his  obedience 
for  us  unto  death,  instantly  we  come  into 
union  with  him,  and  are  justified.  If, 
however,  we  confidingly  rely  on  him,  then 
have  we  the  comfort  of  our  justification. 
Simply  by  faith  in  Christ  are  we  justified 
and  saved. 

Art.  XII.     Of  the  Justification  of  Man, 

WE  are  pardoned  and  accounted  right- 
eous before  Go^,  only  for  the  Merit 
of  our  Lord  and  Sa^/iour  tJ  esuB  Christ,  by 
Faith;  and  not  for  our  own  Works  or 
Deservings.  He  who  knew  no  sin  was 
made  sin  for  us,  that  we  might  be  made 
the  righteousness  of  God  in  him.     He 

viii 


ARTICLES   OF   RELIGION. 

bare  our  sins  in  his  own  body.  It  pleased 
our  heavenly  Father,  of  his  infinite  mercy, 
without  any  our  desert  or  deserving,  to 
provide  for  us  the  most  precious  sacrifice 
of  Christ,  whereby  our  ransom  might  be 
fully  paid,  the  law  fulfilled,  and  his  justice 
fully  satisfied.  So  that  Christ  is  himself 
the  righteousness  of  all  them  that  truly 
do  believe  in  him.  He  for  them  paid 
their  ransom,  by  his  death.  He  for  them 
fulfilled  the  law,  in  his  life.  So  that  now 
in  him,  and  by  him,  every  true  Christian 
man  may  be  called  a  fulfiller  of  the  law. 
Wherefore,  that  we  are  justified  by  Faith 
only,  is  a  most  wholesome  doctrine,  and 
very  fiiU  of  comfort 


Art.  Xni,     Of  Bepentance, 

THE  Repentance  required  by  Scri  "^ure, 
is  a  change  of  mind  toward  Goa,  and 
is  the  eftect  of  the  conviction  of  sin, 
wrought  by  the  Holy  Ghost. 

The  unconverted  man  may  have  a  sense 
of  remorse,  or  of  shame  and  self-reproach, 
and  yet  he  may  have  neither  a  change  of 
mind  toward  God,  nor  any  true  sorrow; 
but  when  he  accepts  Christ  as  his  Sa- 
viour, therein  he  manifests  a  change  ol 
mind,  and  is  in  possession  of  repentance 
unto  life.     The  sinner  comes  to  Christ 

ix 


'  i 


ARTICLES   OF   RELIGION. 

through  no  labored  process  of  repenting 
and  sorrowing;  but  he  comes  to  Christ 
and  repentance  both  at  once,  by  means  of 
simply  believing.  And  ever  afterwards 
his  repentance  is  deep  and  genuine  in 
proportion  as  his  faith  is  simple  and 
childlike. 

Art.  XIV.     Of  the  Sonship  of  Believers, 

BELIEVERS  in  Christ  are  born  of  God, 
through  the  regenerating  power  of 
his  Spirit,  and  are  partakers  of  the  Di- 
vine nature;  for  if  "that  which  is  born 
of  the  flesh  is  flesh,"  so  "that  which  is 
born  of  the  Spirit  is  spirit." 

And  all  who  are  thus  born  of  God  are 
sons  of  God,  and  joint  heirs  with  Christ; 
and  therefore,  without  distinction  of  name, 
brethren  with  Christ  and  with  one  another.

GOOi)  Works,  which  are  the  Fruits  of 
Faith,  and  follow  after  Justiflcation, 
are  pleasing  and  acceptable  to  God  in 
Christ,  and  do  spring  out,  necessarily,  of 
a  true  and  lively  Faith;  insomuch  that 
by  them  a  lively  faith  may  be  as  evidently 
known,  as  a  tree  discerned  by  the  fruit. 
They  who  truly  believe  will  seek  to  do 
the  will  of  God,  and  they  who  do  not

believers. 

Art.  XVI,     Of  Works  of  Supererogation. 

ITOLUISTTAEY  Works,  besides,  over  and 
V  above  God's  Commandments,  which 
they  call  Works  of  Supererogation,  can- 
not be  taught  without  arrogancy  and 
impiety.  For  by  them  men  do  declare, 
that  they  do  not  only  render  unto  God 
as  much  as  they  are  bound  to  do,  but 
that  they  do  more  for  his  sake  than  of 
bounden  duty  is  required :  Whereas 
Christ  saith  plainly,  When  ye  have  done 
all  that  are  commanded  to  you,  say,  We 
are  unprofitable  servants. 

Art.  XVn.    Salvation  only  in  Christ 

HOLY  Scripture  doth  set  out  unto  us 
the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  only,  where- 
by men  must  be  saved.  His  was  a  finished 
work  and  completely  sufiicient.  Without 
any  merit  or  deserving  on  our  part  he  has 
secured  to  believers  in  him  pardon,  accept- 
ance, sonship,  sanctification,  redemption 
and  eternal  glory.  Those  who  believe  in 
him  are  in  him  complete.  They  are  even 
now  justified  and  have  a  present  salvation ; 
though  they  may  not  at  all  times  have  the 
sense  of  its  possession.

Art.  XVin.     Of  Mection,  Predestination 

arid  Free  Will. 

1I7HILE  the  Scriptures  distinctly  set  forth 
M  the  election,  predestination  and  call- 
ing of  the  people  of  God  unto  eternal 
life,  as  Christ  saith:  "All  that  the  Father 
giveth  me  shall  come  to  me ; "  they  no  less 
positively  affirm  man's  free  agency  and 
responsihility,  and  that  salvation  is  freely 
offered  to  all  through  Christ 

This  Church,  accordingly,  simply  affirms 
these  doctrines  as  the  Word  of  God  sets 
them  forth,  and  suhmits  them  to  the  indi- 
vidual judgment  of  its  members,  as  taught 
by  the  Holy  Spirit ;  strictly  charging  them 
that  God  commandeth  all  men  every- 
where to  repent,  and  that  we  can  be  saved 
only  by  faith  in  Jesus  Christ. 

Art.  XIX.     Of  Sin  after  Conversion, 

THE  grant  of  repentance  is  not  to  be  de- 
nied to  such  as  fall  into  sin  after  con- 
version :  that  is  to  say,  after,  by  the  quick- 
ening into  life  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  they 
have  turned  to  God  by  faith  in  Christ, 
and  have  been  brought  into  that  change 
of  mind  which  is  repentance  unto  life. 
For  after  we  have  received  the  Holy 
Ghost  we  may,  through  unbelief,  care- 
lessness, and   worldliness,  fall  into  sin, 

•  • 

Xll 


ARTICLES   OF   RELIGION. 

and  by  the  grace  of  God  we  may  arise 
again,  and  am<md  our  lives;  but  every 
such  fall  is  a  grievous  dishonor  to  our 
Lord,  and  a  sore  injury  to  ourselves. 

Art.  XX.     Of  Christ  alone^  without  Sin, 

CHRIST,  in  the  truth  of  our  nature,  was 
made  like  unto  us  in  all  things,  sin  only 
excepted,  from  which  he  was  clearly  void, 
both  in  his  flesh,  and  in  his  spirit.  He 
came  to  be  the  Lamb  without  spot,  who, 
by  sacrifice  of  himself,  made  once  forever , 
should  take  away  the  sin  of  the  world; 
and  sin  (as  St.  John  eaith)  was  not  in  him. 
But  all  we  the  rest,  although  born  again 
in  Christ,  yet  offend  in  many  things  ;  and 
if  we  say  we  have  no  sin,  we  deceive  our- 
selves, and  the  truth  is  not  in  us. 

Art.  XXL     Of  the  Church. 

THE  souls  disf  lersed  in  all  the  world, 
who  adhere  to  Christ  by  faith,  who  are 
partakers  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  worship 
the  Father  in  spirit  and  in  truth,  are  the 
body  of  Christ,  the  house  of  God,  the 
flock  of  the  Good  Shepherd — the  holy, 
universal  Christian  Church. 

A  visible  Church  of  Christ  is  a  con- 
gregation of  believers  in  which  the  pure 
~^ord  of  God  is  preached,  and  Baptism

and  the  Lord's  Supper  are  duly  ministered 
according  to'  Christ's  ordinance,  in  all 
those  things  that  of  necessity  are  requisite 
to  the  same.  And  those  things  are  to  be 
considered  requisite  which  the  Lord  him- 
self did,  he  himself  commanded,  and  his 
apostles  confirmed. 

As  the  Church  of  Jerusalem,  Alexan- 
dria, Antioch  and  Rome,  have  erred :  so 
also  others  have  erred  and  may  err,  not  only 
in  their  living  and  manner  of  Ceremo- 
nies, but  also  in  matters  of  Faith. 

Art.  XXn.  Of  the  Authority/  of  a  Church. 

A  CHURCH  hath  power  to  decree  Cere- 
monies, and  to  establish  forms  of  wor- 
ship, and  laws  for  the  government  and  dis- 
cipline of  its  members,  and  to  declare  its 
own  faith;  yet  it  is  not  lawful  for  any 
Church  to  ordain  or  decide  anything  that 
is  contrary  to  God's  Word  written,  neither 
may  it  so  expound  one  place  of  Scripture, 
that  it  be  repugnant  to  another.  And 
as  the  Church  ought  not  to  decree  any- 
thing against  the  same,  so  besides  the 
same  ought  it  not  to  enforce  anything  to 
be  believed  for  necessity  of  salvation. 
The  Nicene  Creed,  as  set  forth  in  the 
Prayer-book  of  this  Church,  and  that 
which  is  commonly  called  the  Apostles' 

xiv 


ARTICLES   OF  RELIGION. 

Creed,  ought  to  be  received  and  believed ; 
for  they  may  be  proved  by  Holy  Scrip* 
ture. 

Art.  XXIII.     Of  the  Authority  of  General 

Councils, 

GEKERAL  Councils  (forasmuch  as  they 
be  an  assembly  of  men,  whereof  all 
be  not  governed  with  the  Spirit  and  Word 
of  God.),  may  err,  and  sometimes  have 
erred,  not  only  in  worldly  matters,  but 
also  in  things  pertaining  to  God.  Where- 
fore things  ordained  by  them  as  neces- 
sary to  s^vation  are  not  binding,  as  such, 
on  a  Christian  man's  conscience,  unless  it 
may  be  proved  that  they  be  taken  out  of 
holy  Scripture.  No  law  or  authority  can 
overrid*^.  individual  responsibility,  and 
therefore  the  right  of  private  judgment: 
For  the  individual  Christian,  as  Christ 
distinctly  affirms,  is  to  be  juds^ed  by  the 
Word.  The  only  Rule  of  Faith  is  God's 
Word  written. 


Art.  XXrV.     Of  Ministering  in  the  Con- 

gregation, 

THOSE  who  take  upon  themselves  the 
office  of  public  preaching,  or  minister- 
ing the  ordinances  in  the  congregation, 

XV

Bhould  be  lawfully  called  thereunto,  and 
Bent  to  execute  the  same.  And  those  we 
ought  to  judge  lawfully  called  and  sent, 
which  be  moved  to  this  work  by  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  are  duly  accredited  by  the 
Lord's  People. 

That  doctrine  of  "Apostolic  Succes- 
sion," by  which  it  is  taught  that  the  min- 
istry of  the  Christian  Church  must  be 
derived  through  a  series  of  uninterrupted 
ordinations,  whether  by  tactual  succes- 
sion or  otherwise,  and  that  without  the 
same  there  can  be  no  valid  ministry,  no 
Christian  Church,  and  no  due  ministra- 
tion of  Baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper, 
is  wholly  rejected  as  unscriptural,  and 
productive  cf  great  mischief. 

This  Church  values  its  historic  ministry, 
but  recognizes  and  honors  as  equally  valid 
the  ministry  of  other  Churches,  even  as 
God  the  Holy  Ghost  has  accompanied 
their  work  with  demonstration  and  power. 

Art.  XXV.     Of  the  Sacraments. 

BY  the  word  Sacrament  this  Church  is 
to  be  understood  as  meaning  only  a 
symbol  or  sign  divinely  appointed. 

Our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  hath  knit  together 
his  people  in  a  visible  company  by  sacra- 
ments, most  few  in  number^  most  easy  to

•er. 


be  kept,  most  excellent  in  signification, 
viz.:  Baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper. 

Those  five  so-called  Sacraments,  that 
is  to  say.  Confirmation,  Penance,  Or- 
ders, Matrimony,  and  Extreme  Unction, 
are  not  to  be  counted  for  Sacraments  of 
the  Gospel,  being  such  as  have  grown 
partly  of  the  corrupt  following  of  the 
apostles,  partly  are  states  of  life  allowed 
by  the  Scriptures ;  but  yet  have  not  like 
nature  of  sacraments  with  Baptism  and 
the  Lord's  Supper,  for  that  they  have  not 
any  visible  sign  or  ceremony  ordained  of 
God. 

And  in  such  only  as  worthily  receive 
Baptism  and  the  Lord's  Supper  are  they 
of  spiritual  benefit,  and  yet  not  that  of  the 
work  wrought  (ex  opere  operato),  as  some 
men  speak.  "Which  word,  as  it  is  strange 
and  unknown  to  holy  Scripture,  so  it  gen- 
dereth  no  godly,  but  a  very  superstitious 
sense.  In  such  as  receive  them  rightly, 
faith  is  confirmed  and  grace  increased  by 
virtue  of  prayer  to  God.  But  they  that 
receive  them  unworthily,  purchase  to 
themselves  judgment,  as  St.  Paul  saith ; 
while  it  is  equally  true  that  none,  how- 
ever conscious  of  unworthiness,  are  de- 
barred from  receiving  them,  if  they  are 
trusting  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  alone 
for  salvation,

Art.  XXVI.     Of  Baptism. 

BAPTISM  represents  the  death  of  be- 
lievers with  Christ,  and  their  rising 
with  Him  to  newness  of  life.  It  is  a  sign 
of  profession,  whereby  they  publicly 
declare  their  faith  in  Him.  It  is  intended 
as  a  sign  of  regeneration  or  new  birth. 
They  that  are  baptized  are  grafted  into 
the  visible  Church:  the  promises  of  the 
forgiveness  of  sin  and  of  adoption  to  be  the 
sons  of  God  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  are  visi- 
bly set  forth.  The  baptism  of  young 
children  is  retained  in  this  Church,  as 
agreeable  to  ancient  usage  and  not  Con- 
trary to  Holy  Writ.

Art.  XXVn.     Of  the  Lord's  Supper. 

rpHE  Supper  of  the  Lord  is  a  memorial 
A  of  our  Redemption  by  Christ's  death, 
for  thereby  we  do  show  forth  the  Lord's 
death  till  he  come.  It  is  also  a  symbol 
of  the  soul's  feeding  upon  Christ.  And 
it  is  a  sign  of  the  communion  that  we 
should  have  with  one  another. 

Transubstantiation  (or  the  change  of 
the  substance  of  bread  and  wine  into  the 
very  body  and  blood  of  Christ)  in  the  Sup- 
per of  the  Lord,  cannot  be  proved  by 
Holy  Writ,  is  repugnant  to  the  plain  words 

xviii 


ARTICLES   OF  RELIGION. 

of  Scripture,  overthroweth  the  nature  of 
a  sacrament,  and  hath  given  occasion  to 
many  and  idolatrous  superstitions. 

Consubstantiation  (or  the  doctrine  that 
Christ  is  veiled  under  the  unchanged 
bread  and  wine,  and  that  his  very  body 
and  blood  are  present  therein  and  separate 
the  one  from  the  other)  is  utterly  without 
warrant  of  Scripture,  is  contradictory  of 
the  fact  that  Christ,  being  raised,  dieth 
no  more,  and  is  productive  equally  with 
transubstantiation,  of  idolatrous  errors 
and  practices. 

We  feed  on  Christ  only  through  his 
word,  and  only  by  faith  and  prayer ;  and 
we  feed  on  him,  whether  at  our  private 
devotions,  or  in  our  meditations,  or  on 
any  occasion  of  public  worship,  or  in  the 
memorial  symbolism  of  the  Supper. 

The  elements  of  the  Lord's  Supper 
were  not  by  Christ's  ordinance  designed 
to  be  reserved,  carried  about,  lifted  up,  or 
worshipped. 


Art.  XXVJli.     Of  both  Kinds. 

THE  Cup  of  the  Lord  is  not  to  be  denied 
to  any  of  his  people,  for  both  the 
bread  and  the  wine,  by  Christ's  ordinance 
and  commandment,  ought  to  be  minis- 
tered to  all  Christian  men  alike.

ARTICLES   OF   RELIGION. 

Art.  XXIX.    Of  Unwortky  Persons  Min- 
istering  in  the  Congregation, 

A  LTHOUGH  in  the  visible  Church  the 
ix  evil  be  ever  mingled  with  the  good, 
and  sometimes  the  evil  have  chief  au- 
thority in  the  ministration  of  the  word 
and  ordinances:  yet,  forasmuch  as  they 
do  not  tho  same  in  their  own  name,  but 
in  Christ's,  the  believer  is  not  deprived 
of  the  tmefits  of  God's  ordinances; 
because,  though  they  be  ministered  by 
evil  men,  yet  are  they  Christ's  institution, 
and  set  forth  his  promise. 

Nevertheless,  it  appertaineth  to  the  dis- 
cipline of  the  Church,  that  inquiry  be 
made  of  evil  ministers,  and  that  they  be 
accused  by  those  that  have  knowledge  of 
their  offences:  and  finally,  being  found 
guilty,  by  just  judgment,  be  deposed.

which  it  is  commonly  said  that  the  Priest 
offers  Christ  for  the  quick  and  the  dead, 
for  the  remission  of  pain  or  guilt,  or  any 
representations  of  the  Lord's  Supper  as  a 
sacrifice,  are  blasphemous  fables  and  dan- 
gerous deceits.

Doctrines  and  Practices, 

rPHE  Eomish  doctrines  concerning  pur- 
X  gatory,  penance,  and  satisfaction,  have 
no  support  from  the  word  of  God,  and 
are,  beddes,  contradictory  of  the  com- 
pleteness and  sulficiency  of  the  redemp- 
tion in  Christ  Jesus,  of  justification  by 
faith,  and  of  the  sanctiMng  efficacy  of 
God  the  Holy  Ghost.  Praying  for  the 
dead  is  man's  tradition,  vainly  invented, 
and  is  in  violation  of  the  express  warn- 
ings of  Almighty  God  to  the  careless  and 
unconverted.  The  adoration  of  relics  and 
images,  and  the  invocation  of  saints,  be- 
sides that  they  are  grounded  upon  no 
warranty  of  Scripture,  are  idolatrous 
practices,  dishonoring  tO  God,  and  com- 
promising tlie  mediatorship  of  Christ. 
It  is  also  repugnant  to  the  word  of  God, 
to  have  public  prayer  in  the  Church,  or

to  minister  the  ordinances,  in  a  tongue 
not  understood  by  the  people. 

Art.  XXXn.     Of  Confession  and  Abso- 

lution, 

PRIVATE  confession  of  sins  to  a  priest, 
commonly  known  as  Auricular  Con- 
fession, has  no  foundation  in  the  word  of 
God,  and  is  a  human  invention.  It 
makes  the  professed  penitent  a  slave  to 
mere  human  authority,  entangles  him  in 
endless  scruples  and  perplexities,  and 
opens  the  way  to  many  immoralities. 

If  one  sin  against  his  fellow-man,  the 
Scripture  requires  him  to  make  confession 
to  the  offended  party;  and  so,  if  one  sin 
and  bring  scandal  upon  the  Christian 
Society  of  which  he  is  a  member.  And 
Christians  may  often,  with  manifest  profit, 
confess  to  one  another  their  sins  against 
God,  with  a  view  solely  to  instruction, 
correction,  guidance,  and  encouragement 
in  righteousness.  But  in  any  and  every 
case  confession  is  still  to  be  made  to  God ; 
for  all  sins  are  committed  against  him,  as 
well  such  as  offend  our  fellow-man,  as 
those  that  offend  him  alone. 

Priestly  absolution  is  a  blasphemous 
usurpation  of  the  sole  prerogative  of  God. 
None  can  for^ve  sins  as  against  God  but 
God  alone.  ,  . 

xxii 


ARTICLES   OF  RELIGION, 

The  blood  of  Jesus  Christ  only  can 
cleanse  us  from  our  sins,  and  always  we 
obtain  forgiveness  directly  from  God, 
whenever  by  faith  in  that  blood  we  ap- 
proach him  with  our  confessions  and 
prayers. 

Art.  XXXIIL     Of  the  Marriage  of  MiniS'- 

ters, 

CHRISTIA^N"  Ministers  are  not  com- 
manded by  God's  Law,  either  to  vow 
the  estate  of  single  life,  or  to  abstain 
from  marriage  ;  therefore  it  is  lawful  for 
them,  as  for  all  other  Christian  men,  to 
marry  at  their  own  discretion. 

Art.  XXXTV.     Of  the  Power  of  the  Oml 

Authority, 

THE  power  of  the  civil  magistrate  ex- 
tendeth  to  all  men,  as  well  Ministers  as 
people,  in  all  things  temporal;  but  hath 
no  authority  in  things  purely  spiritual. 
And  we  hold  it  to  be  the  duty  of  all  men 
who  are  professors  of  the  Gospel,  to  pay 
respectful  obedience  to  the  civil  authority, 
regularly  and  legitimately  constituted.

The  following  selection  of  Hymns  has 
been  compiled  for  the  use  of  congrega- 
tions in  union  with  the  Reformed  Episco- 
pal Church,  and  will  be  found  to  include 
many  of  those  which  are  especially  dear 
to  all  Evangelical  Christians.  It  may 
serve  a  valuable  purpose  until  the  General 
Council  shall  decide  to  set  forth  a  larger 
Hymnal.

In  melody  and  songs.

"No  more  let  sins  and  sorrows  grow, 
Nor  thorns  infest  the  ground; 

He  comes  to  make  his  hlessings  flow. 
Far  as  the  curse  is  found. 

6. 

He  rules  the  world  with  truth  and  grace. 
And  makes  the  nations  prove 

The  glories  of  his  riffhteousness, 
And  wonders  of  his  love.

HOW  ofk,  alas!  this  wretched  heart 
Has  wandered  from  the  Lord:  - 
How  oft  my  roving  thoughts  depart, 
Forgetful  of  his  word! 

Yet  sovereign  mercy  calls,  "Return; 

Dear  Lord,  and  may  I  come? 
My  vile  ingratitude  I  mourn;

And  canst  thou,  wilt  thou  yet  forgive, 
And  hid  my  crimes  remove? 

And  shall  a  pardon'd  rehel  live 
To  speak  thy  wondrous  love?

How  glorious,  how  divine !

So  vile  a  heart  as  mine.

Thy  pardoning  love,  so  free,  so  swe^t.

Thy  light  and  easy  burden  prove.

I  would,  but  thou  must  give  the  power, 
My  heart  from  every  sin  release; 

Bring  near,  bring  near  the  joyful  hour, 
And  fill  me  with  thy  perfect  peace.

Like  holy  oil,  to  cheer  my  head.

SOISTGS  of  praise  the  angels  sang, 
Heaven  with  hallelujahs  rang. 
When  Jehovah's  work  begun, 
When  he  spake,  and  it  was  done. 

Songs  of  praise  awoke  the  morn 
When  the  Prince  of  Peace  was  born; 
Songs  of  praise  arose  when  he 
Captive  led  captivity.

Help,  0  God,  my  weak  endeavor; 
This  dull  soul  to  rapture  raise : 
Thou  must  light  the  flame,  or  never 
Can  my  love  be  warmed  to  praise.

Wretched  wanderer,  far  astray;

Thy  ruling  hand  I  see : 
Each  hlessing  to  my  soul  more  dear, 

Because  conferred  hy  Thee. 

In  every  joy  that  crowns  my  days. 

In  every  pain  I  hear, 
My  heart  shall  find  delight  in  praise, 

Or  seek  relief  in  prayer. 

When  gladness  wings  my  favor'd  hour. 
Thy  love  my  thoughts  shall  fill; 

Resigned,  when  storms  of  sorrow  lower. 
My  soul  shall  meet  Thy  will. 

e. 

My  lifted  eye,  without  a  tear. 
The  gathering  storm  shall  see; 

My  steadfast  heart  shall  know  no  fear, 
That  heart  will  rest  on  Thee. 

IIYMI^  87.    C.  M. 

PRAYER  is  the  soul's  sincere  desire, 
Uttered  or  unexpressed; 
The  motion  of  a  hidden  fire 
That  trembles  in  the  breast, 

80 


PRATBR. 


Praver  is  the  burden  of  a  sigh, 

The  falling  of  a  tear; 
The  upward  glancing  of  an  eye 

When  none  but  God  is  near. 


8. 


Prayer  is  the  simplest  form  of  speech 

That  infant  lips  can  try; 
Prayer,  the  sublimest  strains  that  reach 

The  Majesty  on  high. 


4. 


Prayer  is  the  contrite  sinner's  voice, 
Returning  from  his  ways ; 

While  angels  in  their  songs  rejoice, 
And  cry,  "Behold,  he  prays." 


5. 

Prayer  is  the  Christian's  vital  breath. 
The  Christian's  native  air; 

His  watchword  at  the  gates  of  death. 
He  enters  heaven  with  prayer. 

6. 

The  saints,  in  prayer,  appear  as  one, 
In  word,  and  deed,  and  mind; 

While  with  the  Father  and  the  Son 
Sweet  fellowship  they  find. 

7. 

Nor  prayer  is  made  by  man  alone; 

The  Holy  Spirit  pleads; 
And  Jesus  on  the  eternal  throne 

For  sinners  intercedes.       .      .

0  thou,  by  whom  we  come  to  God, 
The  life,  the  truth,  the  way, 

The  path  of  prayer  thyself  hast  trod; 
Lord,  teach  us  how  to  pray. 

HYMN  88.     CM. 

APPROACH,  my  soul,  the  mercy-seat, 
Where  Jesus  answers  prayer; 
There  humbly  fall  before  his  feet, 
For  none  can  perish  there.

Thy  promise  is  my  only  plea, 

With  this  I  venture  nigh; 
Thou  callest  burden'd  soiils  to  thee.

Bow'd  down  beneath  a  load  of  sin, 

By  Satan  sorely  pressed. 
By  war  without,  and  fears  within, 

I  come  to  thee  for  rest. 

Be  thou  my  shield  and  hidinff-place; 
That,  shelter'd  near  thy  side,

Might  plead  thy  gracious  name. 

HYMJSr  89.    S.  M. 

JESUS,  my  strength,  my  hope, 
On  thee  I  cast  my  care. 
With  humhle  confidence  look  up, 

And  know  thou  hear'st  my  prayer: 
Give  me  on  thee  to  wait. 

Till  I  can  all  things  do — 
On  thee,  almighty  to  create, 
Almighty  to  renew. 

2. 

Give  me  a  sober  mind, 

A  self-renouncing  will. 
That  tramples  down  and  casts  behind 

The  baits  of  pleasing  ill  : 
A  soul  inured  to  pain, 

To  hardship,  grief,  and  loss. 
Ready  to  take  up  and  sustain 

The  consecrated  cross. 

Give  me  a  godly  fear, 

A  quick,  discerning  eye. 
That  looks  to  thee  when  sin  is  near, 

And  sees  the  tempter  fly; 
A  spirit  still  prepared. 

And  armed  with  jealous  care, 
For  ever  standing  on  its  guard, 

And  watching  unto  prayer.

And  chase  its  gloom  away.

Speak,  and  let  thy  servants  hear ; 

Hear  with  meekness. 
Hear  thy  word  with  godly  fear. 

2. 

While  our  days  on  earth  are  lengthened, 
May  we  give  them,  Lord,  to  thee, 

Cheered  by  hope,  and  daily  strengthened. 
May  we  run,  nor  weary  be, 

Till  thy  glory 
Without  clouds  in  heaven  we  see.

Then  in  worship,  purer,  sweeter, 

Thee  thy  people  shall  adore, 
Tasting  of  enjoyment  greater 
Far  than  thought  conceived  before. 

Full  enjoyment, 
Full,  unmixed,  and  evermore.

The  blessing  of  God's  chosen  race, 
The  wisdom  coming  from  above, 
The  faith  that  sweetly  works  by  love.

Her  hands  are  fill'd  with  length  of  days, 
True  riches  and  immortal  praise ;

Chaste,  holy,  spiritual  delights :

And  sing  before  him  songs  of  praise.

Convinced  that  he  is  God  alone, 
From  whom  both  we  and  all  proceed  : 

"We,  whom  he  chooses  for  his  own, 
The  flock  that  he  vouchsafes  to  feed.

O  enter  then  his  temple  gate, 
Thence  to  his  courts  devoutly  press; 

And  still  your  grateful  hymns  repeat, 
And  still  his  name  with  praises  bless.

For  he's  the  Lord,  supremely  good, 

His  mercy  is  for  ever  sure : 
His  truth,  which  always  firmly  stood, 

To  endless  ages  shall  endure.

Before  our  Father's  throne 

We  pour  united  prayers ; 
Our  fears,  our  hopes,  our  aims  are  one; 

Our  comforts  and  our  cares. 

s. 
We  share  our  mutual  woes, 

Our  mutual  burdens  bear ; 
And  often  for  each  other  flows 

The  sympathizing  tear. 

When  we  at  death  must  part, 
ll^ot  like  the  world's,  our  pain ; 

But  one  in  Christ,  and  one  in  heart, 
We  part  to  meet  again. 

From  sorrow,  toiCand  pain,  , 

And  sin,  we  shall  be  free ;      ' 

And  perfect  love  and  friendship  reign 
Throughout  eternity. 

HYMN  104.    CM. 

COME,  let  us  join  our  friends  above 
That  have  made  sure  the  prize, 
And  on  the  eagle  wings  of  love 
To  joys  celestial  rise.

Let  all  the  saints  terrestrial  sing, 

With  those  to  glory  gone ; 
For  all  the  servants  of  our  King 

In  earth  and  heaven  are  one.

HYMN  110.    C.  M. 

THERE  is  a  land  of  pure  delight, 
Where  saints  immortal  reign; 
Infinite  day  excludes  the  night, 
And  pleasures  hanish  pain. 

There  everlasting  spring  abides, 
And  never-withering  flowers ; 

Death,  like  a  narrow  sea,  divides 
This  heavenly  land  from  ours. 

Sweet  fields  beyond  the  swelling  flood 
Stand  dressed  in  living  green ; 

So  to  the  Jews  old  Canaan  stood, 
While  Jordan  rolled  between. 

4. 

But  timorous  mortals  start  and  shrink 

To  cross  this  narrow  sea; 
And  linger,  shivering,  on  the  brink, 

And  fear  to  launch  away. 

0  could  we  make  our  doubts  remove, 
Those  gloomy  doubts  that  rise. 

And  see  the  Canaan  that  we  love 
With  unbeclouded  eyes; 

6. 

Could  we  but  climb  where  Moses  stood, 
And  view  the  landscape  o'er,  *

RISE,  my  soul,  and  stretch  thy  wings, 
Thy  better  portion  trace; 
Rise,  from  transitory  things. 

Towards  heaven,  thy  destined  place : 
Sun,  and  moon,  and  stars  decay. 

Time  shall  soon  this  earth  remove; 
Rise,  my  soul,  and  haste  away 
To  seats  prepared  above. 

8. 

Cease,  my  soul,  O  cease  to  mourn, 

Press  onward  to  the  prize ; 
Soon  thy  Saviour  will  return, 

To  tafee  thee  to  the  skies : 
There  is  everlasting  peace. 

Rest,  enduring  rest  in  heaven; 
There  will  sorrow  ever  cease. 

And  crowns  of  joy  be  given. 

HYMN  112.     C.  M. 

WHEN  I  can  read  my  title  clear 
To  mansions  in  the  skies,

A  dark  and  toilsome  road;

And  bring  me  home  at  last.

Thou  my  right  hand  support  dost 
give; 
Thou  first  shalt  with  thy  counsel  guide, 
And  then  to  glory  me  receive. 


Wliom  then  in  heaven,  but  thee  alone, 

Have  I,  whose  favor  I  require  ? 
Throughout  the  spacious  earth  there's 
noEe, 
Compared  with  thee,  that  I  desire.

With  the  shadow  of  thy  wing.

Boundless  love  in  thee  I  find : 
Raise  the  fallen,  cheer  the  faint, 

Heal  the  sick,  and  lead  the  blind. 
Just  and  holy  is  thy  name, 

I  am  all  unrighteousness; 
Vile,  and  fiill  of  sin  I  am,

Grace  to  pardon  all  my  sin; 
Let  the  healing  streams  abound; 

Make,  and  keep  me  pure  within :

Freely  let  me  iake  of  thee. 
Spring  thou  up  within  my  heart, 

Rise  to  all  eternity !

Save  me  from  its  guilt  and  power.

All  for  sin  could  not  atone ; 
Thou  must  save,  and  thou  alone.

Nothing  in  my  hand  I  bring; 
Simply  to  thy  cross  I  cling;

Helpless,  look  to  thee  for  grace; 
Yile,  I  to  the  fountain  fly ; 
"Wash  me,  Saviour,  or  I  die !

While  I  draw  this  fleeting  breath, 
"When  my  eyelids  close  in  death, 
When  I  soar  to  worlds  unknown. 
See  thee  on  thy  judgment  throne; 
Rock  of  ages,  cleft  for  me. 
Let  me  hide  myself  in  thee !

Ever  flows  their  thirst  t'  assuage  ?

Led  by  thy  providential  hand,

And  blossomed  as  the  rose.

To  regions  solitary  yet 

Within  our  spreading  land;

Still  westward,  like  our  fathers,  roam; 

Still  guided  by  thy  hand.

His  all-redeeminff  love, 

His  precious  blood,  to  plead; 
His  blood  atpned  for  all  our  race, 
And  sprinkles  now  the  throne  of  grace. 

Five  bleeding  wounds  he  bears, 

Received  on  Calvary; 
They  pour  effectual  prayers, 

They  strongly  plead  for  me : 
Forgive  him,  O  forgive,  they  cry, 
Nor  let  that  ransom'd  sinner  die.

My  God  is  reconciled; 

His  pajrd'ning  voice  I  hear: 
He  owns  me  for  his  child;

With  confidence  I  now  draw  nigh. 
And  Father,  Abba,  Father,  cry. 

HYMN  207.    78. 

DEPTH  of  mercy !    can  there  be 
Mercy  still  reserved  for  me? 
Can  my  God  his  wrath  forbear  ? 
Me,  the  chief  of  sinners,  spare? 

I  have  long  withstood  his  grace; 
Long  provoked  him  to  his  face; 
Woi^ld  not  hearken  to  his  calls; 
Grieved  him  by  a  thousand  falls.

Kindled  his  relentings  are; 
Me  he  now  delights  to  spare;

Through  every  conflict  but  the  last, 
Still,  still  unchanging,  watch  beside

How  Jesus  conquered  death  and  hell.

Saviour,  let  me  love  thee  more, 

K  I  love  at  all,  I  pray; 
If  I  have  not  loved  before. 

Help  me  to  begin  to-day. 

HYMN"  226.    L.  M. 

BE  still,  my  heart,  these  anxious  cares 
To    thee    are    burdens,  thorns,   ^nd 
snares ; 
They  cast  dishonor  on  thy  Lord, 
And  contradict  his  gracious  word. 


Brought  safely  by  his  hand  thus  far, 
Why  wilt  thou  now  give  place  to  fear? 
How  canst  thou  want  if  he  provide. 
Or  lose  thy  way  with  such  a  guide  ? 

210 


MISCELLANEOUS. 


When  first  before  his  mercy-seat 
Thou  didst  to  him  thy  all  commit; 
He  gave  thee  warrant,  from  that  hour, 
To  trust  his  wisdom,  love,  and  power. 

4. 

Did  ever  trouble  yet  befall. 
And  he  refuse  to  hear  thy  call? 
And  has  he  not  his  promise  past. 
That  thou  shalt  overcome  at  last? 

Though  rough  and  thorny  be  the  road, 
It  leads  thee  home,  apace  to  God; 
Then  count  thy  present  trials  small. 
For  heaven  will  make  amends  for  all. 

HYMISr  227.    L.  M. 

FAITH  is  the  Christian's  evidence 
Of  things  unseen  by  mortal  eye ; 
It  passes  all  the  bounds  of  sense, 
And  penetrates  the  inmost  sky. 

2. 

Things  absent  it  can  set  in  view, 
And  bring  far  distant  prospects  home; 

Events  long  past  it  can  renew. 

And  long  foresee  the  things  to  come. 

8. 

"With  strong  persuasion,  from  afar 
The  heavenly  region  it  surveys, 

Embraces  all  the  blessings  there, 
And  here  enjoys  the  promises.

O'ercome  the  world,  keep  down  our  fear, 
And  still  possess  our  souls  in  peace.

Safe  and  serene,  though  oft  distress'd; 

By  faith,  subdue  the  king  of  fears.

HYMN  228.    CM. 

SEE,  in  the  vineyard  of  the  Lord, 
A  barren  fig-tree  stands; 
No  fruit  it  yields,  no  blossom  bears. 
Though  planted  by  his  hands. 

2. 

From  year  to  year  the  tree  he  views. 

And  still  no  fruit  is  found : 
Then  "  cut  it  down,"  the  Lord  commands, 

"Why  cumbers  it  the  ground?"        '

But  lo !   the  gracious  Saviour  pleads, 

"The  barren  fig-tree  spare. 
Another  year  in  mercy  wait.

A  royal  diadem  adorns

With  all  its  grace,  is  given ;

Glad  the  summons  to  obey, 

May  we  ever 
Reign  with  Christ  in  endless  day.
